GotG had a lot of good going for it, I'd say half the reason it was so popular was just the soundtrack. It was also about the first and only MCU movie to dabble in slightly less morally righteous characters, and the scifi tone really stood out from the pack. Eternals has nothing to differentiate it from the rest of the MCU.

The other good thing that GotG had going for it was that it was almost entirely divorced from the rest of the MCU. About the only thing tying it to the plot as a whole was the Power(?) Stone (whichever the purple one was, hell if I'm gonna keep this shit straight anymore), and the rest was just a campy sci-fi adventure with a group of wildly different rogues being forced to team up to survive. It didn't get bogged down in the increasingly complicated storyline, and thus it was given room to breathe, explore concepts on its own, and focus on delivering an entertaining plot that was pretty much entirely self-contained. It's what Edgar Wright wanted to do with Ant-Man before Disney said no, though I believe James Gunn had more leeway there since the story was taking place halfway across the galaxy and far away from all the other movies.

As soon as the GotG ended up crossing paths with the rest of the characters, I knew that whatever they had going for themselves was over. I don't even really care to see GotG3 at this point. Endgame was where I checked out of the MCU, and I have sincere doubts I'll ever want to watch another one of their movies, to say nothing of the dozens of TV shows in the works. A decade of formulaic capeshit was more than enough, thanks.

At this point, the only thing I'm excited to even pirate is the potential of a stand-alone Silver Surfer movie. Not a feature in GotG 8, not being yelled at by Captain Marvel, the story of Norin Radd on big screen. That would get me pretty hype.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

As I've said before, Steinbeck said that the American proleteriat see themselves as temporarily embarassed millionaires. If that's true, Bob sees himself as a temporarily embarassed Jeff Bezos.

Bob, like most of his ilk, sees himself as a temporarily underemployed political commissar. Failing to realize, of course, that in his ideal world he'd be working in the shit mines. (I usually say this about upper middle class communists, and while Bob sure as hell isn't a communist, they share this much in common.)

I would defend the early stuff to a degree. I accidentally found the show on KTMA on Thanksgiving in 1988, near the end of episode one. It was a new concept to take Rocky Horror style audience participation outside Rocky Horror. It was near-zero budget TV on a channel barely better than community access cable, even at Comedy Channel. But that's all long gone and you're never catching that same energy ever again trying to do the same thing over and over.

It just lived on too long after its soul had gone, and just yelling shit at movies isn't enough. But, autism loves brand loyalty. I was interested for ten minutes when Joel was talking about reviving it but Patton Oswalt being involved did nothing for me.

I will admit to liking the Netflix reboot a bit more than I expected I would. Much like the original run, it was very hit and miss and very much dependent on the source movies doing much of the heavy lifting, but they did drop a few truly solid gems episodes here and there, stuff that compared well to the original run. If we lived in an entertainment landscape more similar to the 90s then the modern internet, I think it could have eventually found it's footing and improved on both delivery and consistency. I wasn't a fan of the new mads, but I never cared much for the host segments in the original run... the theater segments are where it's at... and the reboot had some surprisingly solid runs in the theater.

I love MST3K. I prefer Mike over Joel. The new stuff on Netflix is almost insufferable. Don't get me wrong, the jokes are funny but they never SHUT THE HELL UP! I'm reminded of the gag from the Plinket review of Ghostbusters where a producer played by Rich tells Paul Feige played by Jack that if nobody's talking then nobody's laughing. Any time that no one on screen is talking the riffers are bombarding you with jokes and never give you or the jokes any time to breathe. It's super disappointing. The Rifftrax stuff has become incredibly formulaic. "Oh that's X. I'm sorry, by X I really mean Y.". The first has no restraint and the latter is just lazy. Comedy is hard, I get it, and today so many people are unable to understand it that putting in the effort seems hardly worth it.

Now that I think about it I don't know if I've ever seen Bob talk directly about it outside of a Big Picture he did years ago when Joel announced the kickstarter. I know there was a little bit of a push two or three years ago to denounce MST3k because it helped raise a generation of people, read men, who only mock art, read Ghostbusters and other trash, and tare it down. I wanna say he retweeted Sady, now troon Jude, Doyle when she complained about it.

I have a weird Joel vs Mike take... I think the writing was generally tighter and the jokes more focused when Mike was hosting... but I always preferred Joel as the host. He had that certain lazy, detached style that just fit perfectly with the vibe of the show... you got the feeling that he actually enjoyed b-movies because they were b-movies and not in spite of it... and while the jokes might have been sharper in the Mike era, they were clearly looking to shit on the source films. Joel had a certain "roll with the punches" charm that Mike never had, either at MST3K or Rifftrax.

As far as Rifftrax in general, it's way way way past it's prime at this point... the original concept of audio commentaries for "A-list" movies was unique, but didn't have nearly the same appeal as b-movies... because the b-movies do the heavy lifting. At this point, unless I can find their stuff streaming somewhere... I don't bother... They can be funny on occasion, but it's pretty clear they are regularly reading jokes they didn't write... and that's never a good thing. I understand hiring writers, but it's just fucking jarring hearing them read jokes that were obviously written by their thirtysomething year old staff guys... I have a passing recollection of the 90s sitcom "Boy Meets World", which aired when I was in my 20s... but goddamn when you watch an average Rifftrax release it's pretty obvious one of their writers had a hard-on for that show. Having a 66 year old Kevin Murphy drop a "Mr Feeney" joke is just painful. The references wildly swing between "something a 35 year old would know" to "something a 60 year old would know" with little wiggle room anywhere else.

I thnk one thing people forget about the Mike and Joel runs is that they werent flawless, they had many dud episodes that didnt work because of a movie they picked or cause of the material they used. An people seem to forget that an act like all their old stuff was gold.

As for Rifftrax, it def works best when they did B movies (Deadliest Prey comes to mind), anf maybe schlocky garbage like Red Dawn, but it def doesnt work when they do A movies, with maybe a few exceptions like say Terminator 3 coming to mind.

Ohhh, I am definitely not one of those MST3K viewers that think everything they did was gold... between my original VHS tapes from the "keep trading the tapes" days, the grainy MST3K Archive Project MPEGs, the Rhino releases, etc... I have pretty much every available episode in one form or another. All that said, most of them I would never revisit. Tons of episodes just weren't that good. BUT, that wasn't the appeal of the show... the appeal of the show, taken in the context of the dark ages of the 1990s, was that when they did hit a home run it was entirely out of the park, across the street and into the next zip code... When source movie, writing and delivery all converged, MST3K was impossible to beat... granted that only happened 10-20% of the time... but when it did happen it was fucking glorious.

As far as Rifftrax, there is a difference between an "a-movie" and a "b-movie with a budget"... I would classify T3 as a b-movie with a budget... along with stuff like Road House. But yea, in general I agree, they realized within the first few years that they needed to go back to the roots... that everybody involved from both the creator and fandom side seemed to underestimate how important a good schlocky source movie was to the overall success of the episode.

 

[Tronathon242]

At the end of the day everyone knows the only reason this Eternals shit started was because FOX kept denying Disney the X-Men. Nobody is going to give a shit about their discount and mediocre X-Men and they don't have enough campiness or visual appeal to make them interesting for the market. Only thing this shit pile has going for it is serving as clickbait material for journos about how 'wonderfully progressive' this crap is then blaming any failure on bigotry and whatnot.

Anyway, I think the MCU has just about reached its end, especially with how convoluted its lore is starting to get and how tedious its getting to follow this shit, much like with the comics. They'll either ride this sinking ship all the way through or they'll hit the continuity reset button and come up with something crappier that initially does well but sinks faster. Meanwhile Bob sits at home and praises everything regardless of what decision Disney makes because its the right thing to do in the eyes of the consumerist monopolies.

They'll definitely just run it into the ocean floor. I don't think they can pull off a full reboot. You can do that with comics because you can still retain your hardcore audience, but normies have become used to the actors and storyline of the current MCU. Removing all of that won't go over so well and it's why I predict the upcoming X-Men integration will flop. But dutifully Robert will spend his money on this capeshit even if it devolves into Steel quality.

(I usually say this about upper middle class communists, and while Bob sure as hell isn't a communist, they share this much in common.)

There was a thread of communists on Twitter where someone asked ”what do you want to do after the revolution?”

Almost everyone had picked a white-collar job that could only exist under a capitalist society.

Bobby fantasizes about another man's balls.

Pat-down tests?

Why am I unsurprised Blob believes the myth that Republicans are going to feel children's genitals to ensure they aren't troons?

Criticizing journos is adjacent to rape culture:

That's not rape culture.

Interestingly enough, quite a lot of feminists would say that comparing rape to criticism diminishes rape and normalises it. (note that this is still a bullshit argument for the reason that I don't think one remark ever made someone rape a woman, but it's an argument nonetheless)

And their own country is China.

For once, I agree with AOC - Tibet should be free and the monarchy should be restored. To put it into perspective, what China did was like driving the Pope out of Italy, seizing the Vatican, and shooting Catholics who protested. It makes the shit that Garibaldi pulled look minor by comparison.

Now, I wonder, will Blobby stop stanning for China?

Both Bob and Chris have got the first shot.

Bobby is mad at Peppa Pig, because it gets in the way of his plan to induct his nep and niece to the glory of Godzilla.
It makes me shudder that some of Bobby's orbiters are actually parents.

You and me both.

How the fuck can you hate Peppa Pig? Daddy Pig alone makes the show worthwhile. It's one of the shows I can watch with a legit interest together with my own nephews without bemoaning how boring the base premise is of whatever it is we watch. Car Patrol could improve on some areas, for example, though it's naturally all good as long as the nephews are happy. Give it to a supremely stupid and disgusting person like Robert to feel spite to something as wholesome as Peppa Pig.

The fact that the loathsome tub of lard that is Robert supervises his nephews from time to time is genuinely alarming. I'm not surpsied that brother, who is equally as abominable as Robert, would find no faults in this, though. I wonder what his wife thinks of the arrangement of having such a humongous loser such as Robert watch over their children? While she is arguably not one a perfect representation for her gender, given by the naked fact that she stooped so low as to couple and breed with Chris, I can't help but suspect that she is not thrilled to have Robert lurking around in their household. That is if she isn't equally as contemptible as the Chipman brothers, which is likely. I'm curious to know more of Robert's sister. Has she truly parted ways with the rest of the Chipman cavedwellers? People thought not too long ago that Chris was an at least somewhat accomplished man, and look have that turned out. Sister-Chipman seems to at least have the good graces of staying away from more public forums of social media.

 

[Ita Mori]

It's somewhat murky because a lot of scenes about Ultrons character and story were cut out of the movie, no one is really sure why.

- It would take too much time to properly flesh out Ultron and his backstory in 140 minutes, specially in a movie with a cast that cost almost a hundred million alone. Ultron should've been the current MCU threat to replace Thanos, instead of the one-stop filler arc we got. Certainly not worthy of it's "Age of" title. Shame, because once you read about Tony's venture into making Ultron the global Robocop, you understand why he so wants to sign the accord that turns the Avengers into government slaves. A lot of my friends didn't understand why Tony Stark; the most cynical and untrusting of the Avengers, is so quick to lick Ross' boot in Civil War.

- It's an MCU movie. It exists only as a replacement for those Michael Bay popcorn movies that went out of style and those YA novel adaptions that were being spat out like a babies in a ghetto with the same quality to match and quickly tiring everyone out. It's goal was to show you flashy effects, big sounds, and to get you excited for the next product. Disney has no intentions of actually making complex plots or having dialogue-heavy scenes in a movie they pander to children and man-children alike. It's why it's so hilarious to see Bob liken the MCU to Lynch & Kubrick. I hope Dave & Stanley have the sharpest pitchforks hell can provide ready for when Boebert arrives in the next decade after a lengthy battle with beetus.

I wonder what his wife thinks of the arrangement of having such a humongous loser such as Robert watch over their children?

Stones and glass houses. She chose to marry a loser as well.
Sure, this loser achieved more in society than Blob, but so did everyone.

Chippa's oldest kid is a 5 year old autistic girl, but who knows, maybe sometime down the road she'll troon out. You never know.

I think the whole chip family is exceptionally blue-pilled. Including the sister. Azns tend to vote democrat and that's where she hitched her wagon to. I can't remember whether it was her, or one of their cousins, who horned in on the whole trying-to-get-a-guy-fired who actually worked for himself, who dared do a thing that pissed the chipman clan off. She may look better, but that doesn't mean she's not ugly on the inside like the rest of them.

I don't think Chippa's wife has any problem with Bob watching her kids. Takes some of the drudgery away from her, after all. The fact that she, likely a mild autist, married Chris Chipman, an even greater autist, and thus spawned at least one (possibly two) autist, means she has no qualms leaving them in the care of King Sperg himself, Uncle Blob.

Bob's channel isn't going to grow because he fucked himself with YouTube's algorithm by uploading the old videos that were on The Escapist and no one watched them which means that his channel won't be recommended to viewers watching similar content.

Kinda hard to get back on the algorithms good side once you fuck up. Couple of guys I'm subbed to took a sabbatical for whatever reason and after coming back their videos aren't getting recommended, or sometimes not showing up in the sub box until I specifically check their channel.

Pretty much.

They'll probably try to ease audiences into it by having the original Avengers team up with the new shitters as some sort of passing the torch thing which will make Bobbert bust a nut, only for the film that follows to tank at the box office.

There's a good reason why the drop between The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi was so massive and also why The Rise of Skywalker was a billion dollar disappointment. "Passing the torch" only works if you actually show respect to what came before (see the success of the Creed spinoff series). The Disney trilogy did nothing but show contempt for the male characters of the OT and basically erased the accomplishments of Anakin and Luke Skywalker. The latter became a hermit sucking on green tit milk while abandoning his family and friends to die before his "redemption" arc that consisted of an astral projection that killed him. The fans obviously didn't like it and that's what left the eye boggling fall in the box office after the normies had their one weekend viewing.

I bring Star Wars up because Disney showed it can't handle torch passing and soft reboots properly for one of the most influential properties in the history of humanity. Given how obnoxiously woke it has become (poor Walt would hang his head in shame), I shudder to think what it would do to the MCU. It may be cliche capeshit and it certainly caused some horrible problems that the industry can't shake, but what it accomplished in terms of coherent storytelling and character moments, I think, are beyond commendable. Disney would eagerly torch all of that to start over and wouldn't hesitate to desecrate the older characters to make their woke replacements look better, fan opinions be damned. If it could do that to Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, then Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America are nowhere close to safe. Hell, I wouldn't count Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther as off limits.

In the grand scheme of it all, Bobert would, of course, praise to the nine divines because it's Disney and the Lefty trend setters would demand their acolytes praise it. He is one of the greatest sellouts and lapdogs in his field.

I hope Dave & Stanley have the sharpest pitchforks hell can provide ready for when Boebert arrives in the next decade after a lengthy battle with beetus.

Hey now, Lynch may be 75, but I think he’s got a good chance of outliving Bob.
